Last, but not least, superblog Stereogum has launched the second installment of its tribute to iconic albums series. If a few weeks ago, the likes of Marissa Nadler, The Twilight Set, My Brightest Diamond, etc. covered the whole of “OK Computer” and renamed it “OKX” for the occasion; now it comes the turn for another Rober award winning album, the last of R.E.M.’s finest hours, “Automatic for the people”.

Titled “Driver XV”, to commemorate its release fifteen years ago, TheVeils, Blitzen Trapper, Figurines and The Wrens stand out from a myriad of fresh indie talent celebrating the sounds of Athens, Georgia’s music legends.
